Pre i 4 bet for value here. If he shoves i think i reluctantly call btn vs BB.

Flop standard cbet for value.

Turn i check. I feel if i bet turn and get raised i fold. If i bet turn i will likely have to shove a river. I was very aware his range for stacking off i beat was actually narrow in a 4 bet pot. AQ? does anything else stack off? dont think a10 calls turn and river?

River - After he checks turn and checks river i feel his range is weak and is prob a missed draw, QQ or maybe a weak Ax (but id mainly expect these to bet) ..... so i bet for value..... i wished i had bet smaller like 1/3rd pot.

When writing this iv realised iv messed this hand up completely. I should of b/f turn for value. and as played bet smaller on the river. If i check for pot control/widen his range on turn why do i bet so big on river ?

Any feedback on this hand is appreciated :)

Id like to ask a question. I have Pokertracker 4 and can never use the weaktight page. It always gives me a message like unable to convert.
Ive tried all the options Pokertracker gives me but no luck.
Does anyone know the sulution?

Im just thinking he didnt have a good enough hand to stack off pre. Or why did you choose smaller 4Bet? (You said you wouldve reluctantly called his all in)
You eliminated smallish poket pairs but i wouldve just called and play the hand like that.

I 4 bet pre for value, i think players are generally bad enough to call with worse, which is good for me, especially IP.

if you think players are calling with worse why are you pot controlling? the only question is what is the best way to get the money in, and if he has AJ then he just has it. AQ is way more likely and even some combinations of AT possibly, maybe also some AK splits (though i think opp should just ship pre with it).

it would not surprise me entirely to see him shipping AQ for value with the way you played the hand (though i wouldn't like that play, but should be decent with AK), you look a bit like A5s or something.
as played you cannot fold. just the times you split seem to already make it worth it
